Last Laugh

After hearing Devon's conversation with the young nobleman and realizing the potential collaboration with King Caliyan, Draven's anger surged. He clenched his fists, harboring a deep desire to confront King Caliyan and want to rip him to pieces. Suspicion even crept into his thoughts, wondering if King Caliyan had played a part in the death of King Laylan's cousin, perhaps plotting to ascend the throne while colluding with the pirates.

"We'll deal with him later. For now, let's take care of Devon," Margoth's voice resounded in Draven's mind.

Draven summoned the raven back to his side, its role as a scout fulfilled. As the raven flew its way back, Draven noted that entering the castle from above through the sky was not a viable option. To administer the truth serum and keep Devon undisturbed for the required fifteen minutes, he needed a covert approach, one that would prevent the pirates from becoming alerted and swarming him before he could extract the truth.
